INSTINCT

Son of Beast Eternal Flame

Mason, United States

This eternal flame stands in tribute to the Son of Beast roller coaster. In addition to breaking the world record for speed, Son of Beast was the first wooden hypercoaster in the world with a 214-foot (65 m) drop and was the first wooden coaster to feature an inversion. Having suffered two non-fatal accidents, the ride was closed indefinitely in 2006, and permanently dismantled with the last pieces of the structure removed on November 20, 2012.
